The most famous site is White House Ruins, reached by a one mile trail.

Two scenic drives run along the north and south rims of the canyon, and have many overlooks.

Hohokam Pima National Monument (NPS)On the Gila River Indian Reservation south of Phoenix, the Hohokam Pima National Monument was created in 1972 and protects the site of a Hohokam village dating from around 1200.

The village was excavated but subsequently reburied, leaving no visible trace.

The site is not open to the public and has no facilities.
